Ides Product Photos

I did some product shots for my employer yesterday. We needed a few illustrations of our applications for information handling. The photo I liked best was the one of the web interface on an Ipad. The setup was quite simple; a well lit room supplemented with an external Speedlight control by the built-in camera flash. We hadn’t prepared with a white blanket so the wooden floor got to serve as background.

Lesson learnt: always bring a white sheet to a photo shoot!

I edited the photos with my usual workflow in Lightroom[1] but pulled a little extra in the control for White. The pad takes up a significant part of the photo and got a bit greyed since cameras wants an average grey value of 25%.[2]

The application we produce is mostly used by nuclear power plants and the manufacturing industries, but if you are one of those then I could recommend you to check out MasterConcept at www.imaster.se 🙂

Notes

Maybe I’ll make a journal entry about my workflow one day but I won’t bore you with that now.

I don’t remember the exact details of this process but the point is that the screen wasn’t showed as white as it actually was.
